Found corrosion in connector. I wonder if the root cause of all these headlight failures might not be the bulbs but the "water proof" connectors

We found the same thing after we had already ordered received and installed the new light (which we bought here instead of the dealer's because of the large cost savings). My husband was a mechanic for 35 yrs and said certain types of connectors were more prone to it than others (we had two Volvos that he tracked down numerous electrical problems to them). He always puts connector grease on any fitting after trying to clean it with a very fine file, sandpaper, or solvent (and then blows it out with the air compressor before installing the new fitting with connector grease). We have been running this same light we bought on Amazon since 2008 when the 2007 factory installed light failed and have not had to buy another one. If they are exposed to a lot of waterspray like his fog lights, he sometimes puts a high heat silicone over them as well.

Not I. Who really cares about daytime lights anyways? Could be oxidation to your housing as well if this is the case.

The bulb itself is inserted into the headlight housing, if you installed your HID's and you see light under the hood but not through your headlights then you did something wrong.

Make sure when installing bulbs, it is important NOT to touch the bulb! Oil from your finger will burn on bulb and make it fail prematurely. Also make sure there is no moisture in head light assembly, it will get on bulb and make it blow out and moisture will start making rust. Also, you must use electric grease on electric headlight connector for good contact and to prevent corrosion so headlight connector will not melt the ground terminal from a poor connection. Following those precautions, the bulbs should last a few years! I have had them for a while and am very happy with them! Good Luck.

I've had that problem due to saltwater mist from down flow between tank to sump. Just the moisture from saltwater will make lights corrode or fall out. I purchased another one and put plastic protection so it wouldn't happen again.

The connectors are not waterproof. In fact the way the pin connectors on the LED strings are made, the pins could not be made waterproof. You could use this outdoors, and I have, by wrapping the connections with waterproof tape or a dab of silicon after plugging them together. I would not try this in a submerged location. It will be weather resistant, not waterproof

I'm not sure if they have fuses but I suspect that the end wire may be faulty. Try removing the connector to the outlet, then reinstall it. If that doesnt restore connectivity, try replacing the connector. I seriously doubt that all the bulbs could be faulty or blown. I've had these type of lights installed for years without a hitch... Good Luck!

No,The mounting bracket and bolt are not corrosion proof and are rusting. I plan to replace them with something out of stainless steel or Aluminum. Its a pretty simple u shaped bracket and easy to fabricate. I've had the light on since May and its in the weather constantly. Still works great and is good quality. No Corrosion yet on the actual light.

check your electrical connections. since they can be exposed to elements they can corrode

I had the same issue with my first set of adapters. You need to pick up di electric grease from the auto parts store, you only need a small amount and place it on all connections on both ends of the adapter as well as on the bulb connections. This should take care of it and give you a better contact and should solve the problem. Good luck

I really don't know what you are talking about but those LED headlights and I purchase only lasted me 3 months in my 1994 Honda Civic are one of the LEDs on the low beam burnt out if you weren't able to look at the light bulb you'll see that the yellow LED part is kind of lipid kind of melted a little bit and Matt is the leb it burnt out the high beam works because it doesnt its not used all the time so I don't know what else you need on any of that but those are not very good headlight is burnt out I'm going to try another set from Amazon from a different manufacturer on better coming from China or Hong Kong or China and I'll see if they're better than the ones I had purchased hopefully they are if not on Amazon is selling stuff is not very good just to make a profit and that's not good at people find out its a good for Amazon they need to start selling better quality items and have a make sure that the manufactures give a better warranty

the driver is but i doubt the connections would hold up to corrosion. they would last a while at least a year in salt spray

I assume you have aftermarket HIDs. This will most likely fix that. Alternatively you can get a capacitor that plugs in. They sell them on Amazon too.

the whit set is not waterproof. the other is. corrosion can set in and destroy the connections to the leds .

Probably, I am going to have them polished clear next time using a drill. Look at 3m headlight restoration on youtube.

Rode with it in a heavy rain for 3 hours, and it no longer works reliably, so I think that answers the question... Same happened with the PlanetBike tail taillight...

send them back or there is supposedly some type of connector spray that might potentially elevate the problem....I sent mine back
